Perché il gioielliere Mario Roggero è stato condannato?

The case of jeweler Mario Roggero is once again a hot topic of discussion. Yesterday, the Court of Cassation upheld his final sentence of 14 years and 9 months, reigniting the controversy over self-defense in Italy. The question many are asking is: why was this man convicted for defending himself from a robbery? And the answer often lies not in the political slogans launched by those who amended the current law on self-defense, broadening its scope, but in the facts discovered during the lengthy criminal proceedings. Why did the judges, in this case, decide it wasn't a case of self-defense but of voluntary manslaughter? What does the law really say? And are there other cases in which assaulted people defended themselves with weapons and were acquitted or dismissed? In today's video, I try to clarify and piece together a few things.
